#355 Weathered

This is the only building left in Denver, Idaho, which used to be a bustling town with school, churches, saloons, businesses and homes. The railroad passed it by and so did life. The library lady said this was a granary which is located at a junction and provides shade for the rancher's cattle. It is weathered and neglected, high on the Camas Prairie in north-central Idaho.

  3. Weathered and worn but still useful for the cattle to rest in the shade.

  4. Cool old structure yet still providing the shade. I liked how you worded your text; The railroad passed it by and so did life." So true. Too bad the Camas Prairie Line is now abandoned. They had the most impressive wooden trestles I have ever seen.

  5. Great camera angle showing off the area where the 2nd floor porch roof was. Wonder if the cattle go inside the building.
